      If your Permobil Wheelchair cannot be driven, first check if the battery charger is connected and disconnect it. Also, ensure the wheelchair isn't in freewheel mode; if it is, exit freewheel mode and restart the wheelchair. Verify that the wheelchair is unlocked. Additionally, confirm that the backrest and leg support are not tilted and that the seat is not tilted or lifted, as a seat function may have triggered the automatic drive inhibit. Finally, if the motors have become too warm, turn off the wheelchair and wait for them to cool down.
